A Little Guest Post...........

Today I have a lovely little Guest Post for you from the ever so lovely Alessia over at Whispers From Angels :) Thank You so much Alessia for taking the time to do a little Post for me, much appreciated! :)

Hello Lovelies!

Today I am writing a review for the lovely Sarah, here at 'Writing & Rambling'! I am reviewing MAC Marilyn Monroe lipstick from the limited
edition range. This lipstick is in the shade 'Charmed 'Im Sure.'

Packaging I
have always been a massive fan of MAC packaging as it is simple yet
stylish. Limited edition packaging is always a favourite of mine, unique
and fun with a stylish twist always gets the thumbs up from me! This
collection certainly wowed me! The packaging has a glossy black finish
rather then the usual matte
finish. On the front is stunning picture of Marilyn Monroe in black and
white with her signature above in red. The packaging reflects Marilyn
Monroe perfectly, stunning, glamourous and iconic.

How it feels/looks The
lipstick is in shade 'Charmed I'm Sure', a bold deep red that looks like
the classic shade Marilyn herself used to wear. The lipstick is in a
matte finish, it doesnt apply as easy as others where I did need to
apply a couple of coats to ensure my lips were covered in this gorgeous
shade. The lipstick definately lasts! It still remained at the end of
the day, pretty impressive if you ask me! The shade is a sumptious red
that would suit many different skin tones. The lipstick is slightly
drying, another down side is that bits of the lipstick do tend to come
off onto the lips which I have never experienced with other MAC
lipsticks, it was odd and not sure why! It just seemed to come off when
applying in little pieces. Overall I love the shade, but not one of my
favourite MAC lipsticks.

Conclusion I
love the packaging and shade of this lipstick, it would suit many
different skin tones and lasts a long time. The downside is the
application and the little clumps that seem to come off onto the lips,
it isnt a favourite lipstick from MAC and it did slightly dry out my
lips. I would continue to wear this as I am love with this shade! MAC
lipsticks will continue to be my favourite brand of lipsticks available,
lets see what 2013 holds with new collections due out soon!

Hope you found this review useful!

Did you purchase any MAC lipsticks from this collection?
